possible substitutions for sentences
Dear teachers,
Could you take a look at the following sentences and please tell me all the possible ways in which we may say them?
Here are the sentences:
- In Indian cultural, most of the people are against inter-caste marriage.
- Jane, you and your behaviour have changed, I don't mean anything to you now.
- It is not good to keep doing (can we use "committing" ) the same mistake again and again.
- I'm no lesser/ less worried than you are? (Is it a correct sentence? )
- I wish, one day, I would be able to write a book on xyz. (in what other ways we can convey the same meaning as in this sentence? )
Thank you.

Is 'committing a mistake' right? I think one makes a mistake! Committing something is doing something intentionally!

COCA has only 3 examples (in past tense), but it did not strike me as incorrect in any way. From one on-line dictionary:
to do; perform; perpetrate: to commit murder; to commit an error.
to do; perform; perpetrate: to commit murder; to commit an error.

That's funny. I saw nothing wrong with "commit a mistake" until it was called into question, and now it gets weirder by the second. But that's just a freak phenomenon. I still see nothing wrong with it.

It's better to use "to keep doing" than "committing"
Because if you use committing, the meaning of sentence will be differ from what you want to implies, and also the sounds of sentence isn't good to hear. It sounds will be irritated.
